The 5 inch displays have a higher ppi than the 6 inch so text should be a little crisper and if it can be read in landscape you can keep the words per page count up to keep from increasing the page turns by much.

Nice that someone finally took Holly Gates' Blue Chute design and the Osprey concept from 2003 and really built a reader that is a bluetooth phone accessory

of course the real question will be if they can get some presence in the carriers' store fronts to offer them at that price

I'm thinking the bigger question is whether the carriers will lock the transfer/render app to their ebookstores.
Knowing how euro telcos operate, I wouldn't count on being able to sideload ebooks from other sources.

Yikes, Facebook login is nice as an option but no way would I buy a reader that requires it. A reader that demands to have access to my Facebook information is exactly the kind of reader that I don't want to give it to.

To me it seems like one of those LCD picture frames, but even more limited. And the price is subsidized. I wonder what it really costs. I'd rather read books on my phone than mess with this thing. I certainly wouldn't pay anything for it.

I like the idea of aaa batteries keeping it charged for an extremely long time and allowing users to change them when and where required. I would gladly accept slight increase in thickness and weight for that.

I was wondering that too; the only Facebook reference I can see is in one of the comments. I'm a little surprised at the hostility shown towards this; if we cast our minds back a few years all our eink readers had to be connected to a PC via USB to transfer our books - this just swaps USB for Bluetooth and the PC for a smartphone - or presumably, anything that'll run the Android (and soon iOS) Textr app that has Bluetooth.

I'm sure some people will moan about the inability to alter the fonts/size on the fly, but this is an eink reader to €10! TBH, I'm wondering why they bother charging at all - do they need the €10 that badly?? Could they not subsidise it that last little bit to make it free?
